Most of us were raised with the rule that you don’t get dessert until you finish your dinner, a.k.a. the “Clean Plate Club.” While we tend to parent the way we were parented, this way of thinking is outdated and doesn’t work for kids, as dietitian Kacie Barnes explained in a recent Instagram post<\/a>: “People think I\u2019m crazy when I say kids shouldn\u2019t have to finish their dinner to get dessert. This is a big reason why it\u2019s not a logical solution to get them to eat what their body needs.”<\/p>\n
